Brent Harrington Wins Second Championship Ring
Leading into the RGPS Hard Rock Tulsa stop was the inaugural Poker Industry Championship. On Monday, RunGood Events held an open-to-all preliminary event in the $135 buy-in 8-Game Mixer. Specifically, the games included: No-Limit Hold'em; Seven Card Stud; Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Razz; Pot-Limit Omaha; Limit Hold'em; Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better; and 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw.
A total of 52 entries were recorded, with six players taking home a portion of the prize pool. With four players left, an unusual chop was negotiated. RG Ambassador Justin Gardenhire took home $1,300 and his stack was then removed from play while the remaining three players competed for the title of champion and the custom Signature Ring.
Play continued to well past 4 a.m. Tuesday, at the end of which RGPS and PokerNews live reporter Brent Harrington emerged as the event winner. It was Harrington's second championship ring this year, after taking down the RGPS Tunica PLO Event for $6,838.
Harrington bagged in Flight B of the Main Event and will return to action on Sunday.
